Cutting edge: TCR revision affects predominantly Foxp3 cells and skews them toward the Th17 lineage.

Abstract excerpt

CD4(+) T cells respond to peripheral endogenous superantigen stimulation by undergoing deletion or TCR revision. The latter involves RAG re-expression, TCR gene rearrangement, and expression of a novel TCR. TCR-revised T cells are functional and express a diverse TCR repertoire. Because TCR revision harbors the potential to create self-reactivity, it is important to explore whether T cells known to be...
